Hi friends! Today I have a fun technique that will give you a bit more use from your watercolor brush pens. I’ll even be giving some brush pens away! For a chance to win a set of watercolor brush pens just leave a comment on this post and I will draw 5 lucky winners for a set of 20 Genuine Crafts watercolor brush pens. Winners will be notified via email one week after the publication of this blog post.

Lindsay you have been one of my favorite bloggers for years. Not only tutorials but real life craft space design and set up. Now you inspire me to take up watercolors!!! I want to try them on wood. I always learn something!!!! Thank you!🙃🖌

Are these better than the Arteza brush pens I purchased? My Arteza brush pens have unreliable brushes, some were almost empty when open the pens, and they do not feel like a watercolor pen when trying to paint. I’m looking for a better performing product!

I absolutely LOVE your tutorials. I can honestly say that I’ve learned more from your tutorials (even with my acrylic painting) than i have from anywhere. I get so excited when I get a notification that you’ve posted a video (more than a kid in a free candy shop lol)
But seriously, ive learned so much from you and I have a huge appreciation for all that you do……So thank you for everything. You’ve became a big part of my daily life.

Wow I love how those markers work. You have inspired me with your tutorials to try different mediums, a set of these markers would be a great start for my new medium journey 🙂 Thank you so much for your tutorials ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for always inspiring me (and many others) to create – always new mediums and new techniques & encouraging us to use what we have. You take the mystery out of the many products available – never pushing people to buy – you do the exact opposite. That is why I signed up for one of your watercolor classes – I love your videos and wanted to “pay you back a little for all your dedication to teaching others.

I loved the tips you gave and this video helped me a lot in how I paint and color. I really want to get back into art but I dont have the time. My mother and I had to leave our home and a lot was left behind including my art. I really hope to win this give away and be onto of the lucky five. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

These look like so much fun. I am very tempted to order some of these watercolor pens immediately. I do wonder, though, how you would compare these to other inexpensive watercolor brush pens like Aretha. Seems like the market is blooming with different brands of similar priced color media. Which I think is good, but it makes deciding on a brand a little more difficult. Loved this video, Lindsay. Loved that you showed an original painting and a scene with stamps.

Is a beautiful paint brush watercolor brush painting. I would love to win the watercolor brushes, I’ve never used them and I don’t have any. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and giveaways you do Lindsay. It makes it possible for someone like me to learn cuz I live in a rule area and there are no classes nearby. Thanks again for all you do.

Hey Lindsay – I love all of your videos, but this one has really spoken to me. I would never have dreamed that I could do a flower like yours, but this video makes me think I just might be able to. So, I’ll try.

I Stopped doing art for many years I’m 50/thing now and I just recently started dabbling in art again it’s amazing the things I get to see on your videos I’ve been out of touch for so long I have no idea what’s out there so when you show tutorials with all the New products I want to run out and buy everything but can’t do that no no no must restrain credit card is maxed aaaaaggghhhh🎨

Great video! I love that you used stamps along with your free hand painting. The birds made it complete for me… I’m tempted to try painting myself. I would love to win the water pens! Thanks for this opportunity.

Hi these look like so much fun! I am trying to teach myself watercolor painting by watching u and other artists, i noticed u mentioned when painting the birds that they stain, can u lift the paint? Thank u and thank u for being a great teacher

I love your videos! Since watching your tutorials I have been encouraged to try my hand at watercolor again. I haven’t done much painting since high school, 40+ years ago but I am going to give it a try.

These pens look like they’re a lot easier to manage than the Arteza ones, I have a small set of those and the nylon bristles are really really long… have you ever tried trimming them? I’m so tempted because it makes these things almost useless unless I want to scribble off on a palette and pick them up with a brush… in which case, I can use my crayola supertips or any other water based marker the same way, so why would I need them? I don’t know, I have been pretty disappointed with the Arteza ones after the initial rose colored glasses.

Lindsay thank you for sharing this review. I would love to try this type of water based /watercolor marker. I have been following you and loving all content for years now. I am excited about art again!!! Thank you!!

Thank you Lindsay for yet another fun and inspiring video. I turn to your channel almost daily to fuel my enthusiasm! And of course, I would love to win, but best of all, the giveaway nudged me to send you a note!

I love to water color although I’m. Extreme new to this. You are my first inspiration and I would be thrilled to receive a set of 20 brush style markers! Thank you for all that you do and thank you Genuine Crafts for this sponsorship!

Hi Lindsay, nice review you did, I always find them helpful. I was surprised when you said your daughter could work in an adult coloring book with those brush pen/markers because I was going to ask that question. But when you said they’d help with learning brush control, I said that would be heavenly for me. I also loved that you said you could do the projects sitting on your couch while watching TV. I have very limited space and time to work on much projects. I’ve never got to use any brush markers – do they feel like a regular brush? I would love to win a set of those, but you must already have thousands of comments on this blog post already. Anyhow, you always give great information. Thanks so much. Take care and God bless.

I really enjoyed seeing you make a rose-like flower so simply and the buds were a treat too. And using the ink pens on the stamp then filling in the bare spots was a fun technique, especially for those of us who draw glacially slow.

I really enjoyed watching your sumi-type brushstroke painting with these markers. Both paintings are lovely, but I really like what you did with the one using rubber stamps. It truly looks like an oriental piece of art. Thank you for sharing this process.

I didn’t have much luck with the brushes I bought last year but this tutorial has inspired me to try again. Like many of the other commenters, I buy all my “art supplies” based on your reviews! It would be wonderful to win these and give it another go!!

First I love you new haircut! Thank you for all of your tutorials. I learn so much from watching you. I trust your reviews and know that if you like a product so will I . I believe you are honest about all the products. It would be great to win these so I can try this technique. Thank you and God bless

Dear Lindsay, What a delightful pair of “faux” watercolors using these brush markers. It would be great fun to try these pens with the dye-based paint. The Japanese-looking building stamp looks great! I can almost hear those birds chirping! What a great way to “paint”watercolors! Best wishes, Dianna

These pens are interesting. Almost seems it would be easier for people like me to paint with them because the color stays put. I’m still trying to be artistic! LOL Thanks Lindsay. Always love your videos.

I don’t know if this giveaway is available for the United Kingdom but on the off chance it is I’d love to win so here I am 🙂 only just found your channel on youtube a few weeks ago as I’m new to watercolours (and any art) being erm middle aged I’m a late starter, but loving it all, your video’s make alot of sense to me and are easy to follow, thank you!

These pens look like great fun. It would be good to hear what you think of their quality verses say the arteza or zig. Everything is so expensive in oz that I would like some info on where to best spend my dollar. Or am I better off just using the watercolour supplies I already have ie tubes, pencils and inktense.

Thank you Lindsay for another great video! And also for the chance to win a set of these watercolor brush pens. I love how you mixed rubberstamps with watercolor painting. I will have to give this a try. Looks great!

A friend recommended your videos several years ago and just love them. I am really struggling with watercolor so I watch all of yours. I bought the Colorit watercolor markers that you recommended and I am still struggling. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent.

I watch you faithfully in order to get inspired by you. You are an awesome artist. Thank you for sharing your never ending creativity in all of your videos. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Wow these watercolour brush pens are just so incredible, they soo look useful and effortless. I would love to win one of these sets I think they would help me a lot with my Art calsses that I attend in school , since I am aiming on high grades these would help me to add that extra detail to my work that would give me those extra grades, I’ve always kinda hated using brushes but these look so useful and handy.
Lindsay I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and your Art videos have helped me a lot with art and and you are probably the main reason why I choose art for my school options, idk how you do it you just make everything look so easy to do and the work you make is also good. I might’ve taken some ideas for my own work and they’ve turned out to be great I I for high grades for them Ive loved drawing and painting since I was young but I’ve never really had the right equipment to use and I genuinely think these sets of brushes would make it easier for me to do works using watercolour ( something I’ve always wanted but thought was hard).
I hope 🤞🏼 I win this and if I did I would be super glad because even tho this isn’t a lot it still would help me a lot with everything.

I love all of your work and so enjoy your teaching style. I’m so new and I’m having trouble just jumping in. I keep talking myself it just paper like you say. I also love the fact you teach all kinds of art.

I’m TRYING to get into watercolor markers but still trying to make decent paintings with regular water colors. I will say this …everything I’ve learned I have learned from you and your videos!
Thanks for your teaching skills!!!!

Lindsay, I love how you were able to get the Chinese brush stroke effect with these markers. I would love to give them a try but they’ll
have to be added to my wish list for now…unless you happen to draw my name of course!😉
